"Why give it to me?"
Xu Jiaojiao said in a natural tone: "This piece of fish is originally shared by everyone, but I can't help so much, and aren't we friends?"
Yangmei looked at her with a complicated expression, with indescribable feelings in her heart, but in the end she said nothing. Instead, she let go of her fish basket and continued searching.
Xu Jiaojiao went to the field, but then she regretted it a little. The soil was too soft and her feet could easily sink into it. So she got up and sat on the edge of the field, washing her feet with clear water and cleaning the mud off her leather shoes.
Xie Zhi touched two and came back, sitting next to the girl: "Isn't it fun?"
The girl pouted: "I can't step on the solid ground. The soil is too sticky. It's not fun."
He nodded to show his understanding, and the next second showed the girl the fish he had caught. Xie Zhi still selected them based on their appearance, and chose two that were big and fat, and must be delicious.
"How are you going to eat?"
"Braised, I want spicy, or pickled fish."
"Can."
The two watched the rest of the people fishing. The fat ones were all taken away. Now some children and old people went in. Xu Yan and Xu Ze gave a few fish to the elderly people in the village who had poor living conditions. The last person came back with only two fish.
Xu Jiaojiao smiled and nodded. She didn't expect that her two brothers were so compassionate.
"Fourth brother, give Yangmei one. Hers is very small."
After hearing this, Xu Yan quickly walked up to Yang Mei, grabbed her fish basket, and put one of his fish in it.
Yang Mei stared at Xu Yan blankly, her lips tightly pursed together. She knew that all the girls in the Xu family were good-looking, but this man was too good-looking. He had a gentle temperament, was literate, and was completely different from the men in the village.
Blushing, he stammered, "Thank you."
"It's okay." The breeze brought Xu Yan's gentle voice to her ears, and soon the man walked towards the ridge of the field. Xu Yan quickly washed himself.
He said to the three people who were waiting for him, "Let's go."
"Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother, I really didn't expect that you guys are so responsible and even shared the fish with those people."
"We broke up before and Jiaojiao didn't even know about it." Xu Ze joked.
"Now my relationship with my brothers is finally good." Xu Yan was very relieved.
The girl was surrounded in the middle, and several people were coaxing her. Yang Mei was staring at their backs in a daze, not knowing what to say. She was so popular, how could she be so happy.
"Xie Zhi, look at them, you don't even speak up for me."
Xie Zhi chuckled softly: "That makes sense."
The girl snorted in anger.
However, in the past few years, the three of them were absolutely a united front. The younger sister and the young wife chased after other men all day long. They were rarely in a good mood every day, but they always went to support that man.
It would be fine if it was a good thing, but Sheng Jie is really irresponsible. Jiaojiao has changed a lot now. The brothers have watched the grown-up Baituan finally return to her usual appearance.
Before they even entered the house, the girl loudly reported their achievements: "Mom, we caught five fish."
Yan Fenglian took off her daughter's raincoat and jokingly said, "How many did you catch?"
She panicked and said, "Mom, why are you asking me such an embarrassing question?"
Everyone laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs. Yan Fenglian pushed her daughter to the next yard and said, "Okay, I've boiled water for you. Go take a bath."
Xie Zhi helped carry the water over, and he also had his own share, so it was okay for them to wash together. Xu Yan and Xu Ze also entered the bathroom.
Father Xu was busy preparing the fish while Mother Xu was steaming the rice. The rain after a long drought really brought a lot of hope to people.
The fish cooked at noon was exactly as she had imagined, braised with red sauce and sauerkraut. The braised fish was filled with potato strips and tofu, and every piece was covered with soup. Xu Jiaojiao enjoyed the meal very much.
Yan Fenglian ordered: "Send two fish to your mother this afternoon."
"Okay, I'll send it over when I'm done."
Yan Fenglian shifted her gaze to Jiaojiao, who was picking fish bones, and said unhappily, "Grandpa sent another chicken this morning, saying that you were too tired and needed a supplement."
"Grandpa and grandma love you so much."
"I like grandpa and grandma, too." The girl said sweetly. She was pretty and her words were extremely likable, which even increased her credibility.
Xie Zhi was concentrating on choosing fish for Jiaojiao, picking out the big ones and the small ones for her. These actions were watched by everyone, and they knew clearly that no one would be so considerate to Jiaojiao anymore, even them.
The man picked up the fish and said, "Eat your meal obediently."
"oh."
After answering, I realized something was wrong. I had been eating well, so why was I being criticized now? But soon my attention was attracted by the fish and I touched its round belly. This is life.
The rain was a little lighter in the afternoon. Xu Jiaojiao sat under the eaves, watching the raindrops dripping rapidly on the ground. The hand that supported her chin fell to the side after a while.
"I don't know if I can go into the city tomorrow, my big client."
Xie Zhi answered her doubts: "The day after tomorrow is fine. The sun will be out tomorrow. We have to wait until the road is a little drier before we dare to go over."
"All right."
The distant mountains that were originally obscured by clouds gradually revealed their true appearance. The trees on the mountains were particularly green, and after being washed by the rain, they became much cleaner.
"Hubby, have you decided which university to apply to?"
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the man who had been reading. It must be said that Xie Zhi was a man of abstinence and had a bit of a godly temperament. He looked almost like a Bodhisattva.
Xie Zhi looked at her and smiled: "Wherever Jiaojiao goes, I will go."
"Jiaojiao, you can't even wash clothes, you can't do anything, and you're still so pretty, so I have to stay by your side all the time to prevent you from being seduced by someone else."
"What? I'm not like that at all. Besides, I only like you."
The voice was so low that she could hardly hear it: "I hope so." It soon drifted away in the air along with the sound of rain, and even Xu Jiaojiao didn't hear it.
Maybe this person works too hard in his daily life. He is either reading or sleeping, like a character with set emotions and tasks.
"I want to sleep with you." Xie Zhi suddenly said, and his swallowing throat revealed his uneasy mood at the moment.
No one knew how hard it was for him to endure facing such a girl. Every move and even every look of Jiaojiao could easily arouse him, and Xie often felt hot and unbearable.
Xu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes impatiently. She was indeed a programmed robot. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "I still have a choice."
Xie Zhi admired the girl's changing expressions and said nonchalantly, "It's just a symbolic inquiry."
The earlobe was picked up and then put into the mouth and ground finely. I don’t know how good it tasted. Xie Zhi could taste it countless times.
Xu Jiaojiao turned her head away and refused, it was so itchy.
